Will A Beard Grow Back and Look the Same After Facelift Surgery?

Each practitioner will have different recommendations about shaving and plastic surgery. I prefer a clean-shaven face before the procedure. However, you do not have to worry about your beard being in the “wrong place” after your facelift. The natural growth line of the beard and mustache are taken into consideration when planning where/how to lift. I hope this helps.

Male facelift and beardIn my practice I ask my male patients not to shave for 2 days prior to
facelift surgery. This allows for accurate assessment of existing beard
pattern. Proper planning and execution of surgery will leave the beard
essentially unchanged. The goal of male facelift to create a significant
youthful appearance and yet without any tell tale sings of surgery. There are
many special considerations in male facelift, and natural beard pattern is
just one of many.

As long as the incisions are planned carefully the growth should be normal after surgery.  Most surgeon prefer a shaved face before surgery.

My shaving instructions for a man are fairly simple: do not shave for 24 hours prior to a procedure.  A mustache dos not have to be shaved, but a beard should be shaved up to the jawline (not above it).  This allows for easier identification of anatomic boundaries. I ask men to shave with an electric razor starting at 1 week after surgery.  Since a Facelift involves repositioning of hair bearing skin, men must be aware that shaving closer to and slightly behind the ear will be a part of the postoperative result.

Mens beards generally grow back the same.  The sideburns may be altered and hair in front of and behind the ear may be closer to the ear itself
